Ten days after we departed, we are now near the city of Albany, N.Y., 210 miles (340 Km) from Montreal. Everything is going really well so far, except for a blister, behind my right foot. Veronique gives me reflexology treatments with essential oils every night. It helps a lot. A friend, Renaud Corriveau, offered me a book called " Regeneration Through The Afghan Walk Technique ". This book is about how to breathe in order to create no heart or lung tiredness which is extremely helpful for someone who's walking long distances. Thanks to it, I'm in great shape. I'm very grateful to Renaud for this gift. Today I've walked my longest distance so far: 27 miles (44 Km) in 7 hours 20 minutes. We will probably arrive in New York at the beginning of July. I have to admit I feel a little bit of stress when I think about this huge city with enormous traffic and pollution. To be continued!!!

2nd WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 124 miles (200 Km) from Bolton Landing to Albany.
We are now in Ravena for this first day of my 3rd week of walk. We have survived the crossing of the big city of Albany. Yesterday I made my longest walk to this day: 28 miles (45 Km). My feet are well now. It's Veronique's turn to have blisters from her visits to 2 malls. We are warmly welcomed everywhere for our nightly stops, whether by Wal-Mart managers or by churches reverends. The owner of a campground where we stayed, on the banks of the Hudson River, offered us the stay and filling up of our water reserves in exchange for our stretching DVD. Isn't it nice?

4th WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 124 miles (200 Km) from Newburgh to North Brunswick.
Total: 515 miles (830 Km)
Hello everybody,
We are now in New Jersey, at North Brunswick, after a 4 day stop in Congers (NY) because we had trouble with the breaks on the RV. My legs being still in great shape, I walked 76 miles (122 Km) during these 4 days, returning to the motor home back and forth to add up the mileage. This way we could catch up to where we should have been without the breakdown. This explains the difference between the mileage covered and the actual distance to the city we are at now. I keep practicing the afghan breathing technique and I feel the beneficial effects of it every day; my lung capacity is growing and I'm feeling great. It is true that the live organic food prepared by Veronique also contributes a lot to that well being.
As usual, we are warmly welcomed everywhere we go, including by the police who, after a few questions and ID verification, show much interest in what I'm doing. In spite of all the emails we sent to the local press, none of them have manifested themselves so far. We plan on testing another method: we will send our information through regular mail and do a phone follow up. We'll see if it works better to help Americans discover the benefits of stretching.

5th WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 112 miles (181 Km) from North Brunswick to Woodridge
Total: 627 miles (1011 KM)
One tenth of the total distance done! I had estimated I could walk 100 miles (160 Km) per week and I actually maintain an average of 124 miles (200 Km), which is quite fantastic for a young man like me! Last Monday it poured so I took the day off, which came at the right time for us to spend a day with Veronique's American brother who lives in Princeton, New Jersey. The next day, we entered Pennsylvania and crossed Philadelphia. My longest walk of the week was Friday. I did 26 miles (42 Km), reaching Baltimore. The "universe" gave me a second day off this week when I got bedridden with a toothache. A pain that stretching can't, unfortunately, help!

6th WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 118 miles (190 Km) from Prince William to Chester
Total: 750 miles (1209 KM)
Last Sunday, my teeth were still aching and it was still very rainy. So I did not walk as much this week. On Tuesday I walked 27 miles (44 Km) and on Wednesday we stayed at Johnny Walker's. Don't worry, I did not drink any whisky. That was the name of our host whose profession is… embalmer. After crossing Richmond, Virginia, one last heavy traffic city until Florida, I can again walk on secondary roads equipped with safe roadsides.
I would like to thank all of you who encourage me to keep going forward. I'll be back with you next week, hoping the sun will be back too!

7th WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 149 miles (240 KM) from Chester (Virginia) to Ahoskie (North Carolina) Total: 898 miles (1449 Km)
It's been a week of " mores "! More kilometers, more rain, more sun, more contacts, more DVDs and videotapes sales! We passed from pouring showers to 108o F (42o C). We also had our first interview, with the biggest newspaper in South Virginia: The Virginian Pilot (covering a population of 500,000). You should soon be able to read this article on our website. After the issue came out, we got invited for dinner in Ahoskie, at Mary's and Bud's. Non vegetarian meal, but a very nice evening under a gorgeous fig tree! We've been having some difficulties finding organic food stores. Veronique found a few through the Internet. We are anxious to dive into the Atlantic, but I still have a couple of weeks to walk before we can have this pleasure. We keep going south for now and should be in Florida within about 5 weeks. In the meantime, I hope you are all taking advantage of the summer and of life in general!

8th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 135 miles (218 km) from Williamston to Jacksonville (North Carolina)
Total : 1034 miles (1668 km)
There’s a lot less traffic on the roads now. Is it because of the holidays? Or is it a confirmation of my impression, that this state is poorer than the ones crossed before? Less cars, less trucks, a lot more mobile homes and abandoned houses and a lot more farms, mostly corn, cotton and tobacco crops. On the other hand, I still see as many fast-food restaurants. The drive-ins are always packed, as well as the stores that sell food supplements. There must be a great need to compensate for the poor food.
We got two interviews so far – one with the Washington Daily News; the other at Cape Carteret with The Venture of Carteret County. You can read them on our web site. Cape Carteret is a big tourist city where we took our first dive in the ocean (great!) and spent a few hours on the beach. We were surprised at how little people there were on the beach even though the season is still beautiful.

9th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 130 miles (210 km) from Jacksonville (North Carolina) to Georgetown (South Carolina)
Total : 1164 miles (1878 km)
On Thursday, August 12, we arrived in Georgetown and experienced being right on the path of the hurricane Charley. First, we got non-stop gusts of rain and winds of 85 miles/hour (135 km/hour) until Saturday morning. Then we heard on the radio that the hurricane was just south and moving toward us. When we got up in the morning, all the stores were barricaded and there were no cars in sight. We were completely alone. We were parked facing the wind and the rain hit the windshield as hard as if we were driving at 62 miles/hour (100 km/ hour)! The motor home vibrated and pitched more and more so we sought shelter for it between two huge containers behind a department store. On the radio, they asked people to stay home. It lasted a few hours and then, all of a sudden, within a few minutes, the calm came back and the rain stopped. I decided to go out for a walk. The town was in complete desolation: a general power failure, all the stores and businesses closed except for a gas station that had a generator. There were rooted up trees everywhere and branches all over the streets, some of which are so severely flooded we can’t use them at all. I also saw some sheds and trailers knocked over. At one intersection there was a car submerged. We could see only a small part of its roof. I couldn’t help but smile because this car was parked right beside a huge “no-parking” sign.

10th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 142 miles (229 km) from Beaufort (South Carolina) to Savannah (Georgia)
Total: 1306 miles (2107 km)
Looking for a bit of sun, we branched off toward Hilton Head Island where I made my longest walk so far: 32 miles (51 km) in one day. This area has gorgeous beaches and the inhabitants of the island really take the environment to heart. Stores are imbedded in large green spaces, so full of trees and bushes that we passed twice in front of the Wal-Mart without seeing it (in spite of its gigantic size). We got an interview with the Island Packet, a free newspaper with a circulation of 15000 copies. On August 29th, we were welcomed by Savannah, Georgia. And we welcomed Brigitte, another Belgian friend, who plans to walk with me for one month. I feel quite lucky to have now two beautiful Belgians with me. I’m almost loosing my Quebec accent!

11th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 118 miles (191 km) from Jekyl Island (Georgia) to Jacksonville (Florida)
Total : 1436 miles (2298 km)
On Jekyl Island, Brigitte and I discovered the peace that fills this place as we walked along its beautiful beaches. But soon, uncertain weather and an invasion of mosquitoes prevented us from walking long distances. So we decided to go look for hot and sunny weather where we were certain to find it – Florida. Jacksonville ends the first stage of my US walk. We then drove down to Fort Lauderdale. On our way, we passed by the splendid beaches of Sainte Augustine, a city with a rich history of Spanish conquests and occupation where we can visit the first school of the state. We look forward to a well deserved three-week vacation. Sea, sand and sun will be our program for the next weeks, although I will continue to walk a small 10 miles (15 km) every day. Vero keeps delighting us with her fantastic culinary creations. I also want to thank her for helping me with her narrative talent in writing this diary every week.

12th, 13th, 14th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 207 miles (333 km) in the area of Fort Lauderdale.
Frances, Yvan and Jane, the three hurricanes that fell down on us during our stay in Florida did not finish us off! For each one of them, the gusts of rain and wind prevented me from walking for 3 or 4 days. But my enthusiasm is still intact! The accumulated kilometers will allow me to start again in Tallahassee instead of Jacksonville. We were also joined by Danielle, a third Belgian friend, with whom we walked along the beaches of Hollywood and Dania, diving once in a while in the waters of the Atlantic always warm in this area. We also went to Miami Beach where the art-déco area has a permanent feel of festivity because of the bright colored walls. Brigitte and Danielle left us and Véro and I ended this long vacation by driving back north and spending a few days with my friends Berthe et Raoul Lemieux in Ocala. I’m extremely grateful to them for their reception that’s always so warm ! We’re now on our way for the second part of this Transamerica walk. Toward San Diego, California! Hurrah!

15th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 50 miles (81 km) from Tallahassee to Clarksville
It was a very small week of walking since I started only on Friday. It’s extremely hot and there’s no wind. Fortunately the nights are cool! The roadsides of Road #20, from Tallahassee, are nice and wide and I feel safe and comfortable to walk them. Right after Freeport, in about 55 miles (90 km), we will be able to set our feet in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Vero will be able to do some more tanning, and I’ll be walking along the beaches. Isn’t life tough?!

16th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 123 miles (199 km) from Clarksville (Florida) to Mobile (Alabama)
Total: 1819 miles (2911 km)
We crossed Destin on October 5th 6th, and then Navarre on the 7th. Pensacola, naval and air base welcomed us on the 8th. Everywhere around us, the hurricane Yvan left heavy damages – torn trees, roofs, panels. It was a very sad sight. Even more so in the rainy weather we had. In Mobile, it unfortunately turned to heavy showers that made it impossible for me to walk. Hopefully we’ll find some sun in Mississippi!
This dampness does not fit me too well. I’ve been having sore feet, sore ribs, and sore gums. Fortunately, it all vanished as soon as the sun came back. I think I will ask God to make me come back in a tropical country for my next life.

Wednesday, October 20th 2004

17th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 135 miles (218 km) from Pascagoula (Mississippi) to Kenner (Louisiana)
Total: 1955 Miles (3129 Km)
In one week, we have crossed 3 States! We have made a stop in a village named Gautier in Mississippi, and New Orleans thrilled us for three days with its sounds of jazz and saxophones. We have strolled the French-Quarter so much, that it has very little secrets left for us. Vero’s essential oils are doing wonders, not only for my feet but also for my lower back and gums, where the pain disappeared quite quickly. Perfect weather (sunny with some clouds), quiet roads and wide roadsides allowed me to walk comfortably for many hours every day. The clouds had a drawback though: the solar panels didn’t recharge completely, and our generator needed a replacement part. We have to fix it if we want to continue making these delicious and very energizing juices. I wouldn’t want to do without them but the juicer uses a lot of power.
I have started dictating my book on a small tape recorder (Belgians call it a Dictaphone). Vero and her writing talent will then transcribe it.

18th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 141 miles (228 km) from Sorrento to Opelousas (Louisiana)
Total: 2098 miles (3358 km)
A tour of garages! It would seem that the motor home has a hard time following me. It’s showing signs of tiredness. Nothing serious though. But as luck would have it this forced stop allowed us to sell many videotapes and to get an interview with the Gonzales “Observateur”! So, we can say thank you to the breakdown.
I have crossed Baton Rouge on Tuesday, doing a day of 25 miles (41 km). But my best day of the week was Saturday with 30 miles (48 km)! It’s extremely hot in the bayous and the mosquitoes love me a little too much for my liking. The cellular phone network is not well developed in this area so our Internet connection does not work well. But please, do not stop writing. Soon enough it will work fine again and I’ll be able to read your messages.

19th WEEK, TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 141 miles (228 km) from Eunice (Louisiana) to China (Texas)
Total: 2236 Miles (3578 km)
For the second time since the beginning of our trip we were evicted from the church parking lot. But the reverend did indicate a place where we could stay: a casino! We didn’t gamble, so we suffered no loss and we did win a good night of sleep!
We entered Texas on Friday. The energy is quite different here. Is it the presidential energy? I don’t know but, we do strongly feel the oil industry energy!
It should take me about 7 weeks to walk the 870 miles (1400 km) to New Mexico. The temperatures are ideal for walking, fluctuating from 75o to 92o F (24o to 33o C) with a cool breeze. It’s very pleasant. It might possibly be difficult to get in touch with us in some areas of Texas. So my answers to your emails could be a little late sometimes.

20th WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 125 miles (198 km), from Liberty to East Bernard.
Total 2,360 miles (3776 km)!
This week the days went by “2”! 2 days of rain, 2 days of flu, 2 days in Houston, and 2 days in East Bernard. The temperature came down from 90o to 50 o F (30 o to 10 o C). The Texan fall season can be harsh even with sunshine. On the first day of the cooler temperature, I decided to fast, but kept on walking even with the rain! It was a mistake. I should have listened to my body. It was telling me to stop and take a rest for a while! I started to cough and get tired much faster. Its time for a break, I need to rest. A church in Houston offered to let us stay in their parking lot and invited us for supper, the first night, along with a lot of local youth. We met a lot of Texans and had a great time. The people of Texas are very friendly! Houston in a very big city with……..hold your breath……..with 30 Wal-Mart stores! We found also 4 Whole Foods stores, who sell organic produce, so we could refill our refrigerator with organic food and away we go to San Antonio!

21st WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 98 miles (156,5 km) from Eagle Lake to San Antonio.
Total: 2,458 miles (3932,5 km)
Don’t envy us for the temperature anymore. We are almost frozen. Luckily my tongue is not frozen yet because we had 3 interviews this week! My physical condition is not getting any better so I’ve decided to drive to San Antonio and park in a campground. As soon as I get better, I will walk through this city and the 60 miles (98 km) that we drove through. We will have the occasion to visit it, for it seems to have a lot to offer to tourists. We will tell you about it next week!
For the next few weeks, maybe more, I might have difficulties with the connection for my cell phone. Texas is not the strongest territory of my supplier for cell phones, so be patient if you don’t hear from us for some periods. I will also answer my emails as soon as I can!

23rd WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 118 miles in San Antonio!
Total: 2531 miles
After 4 days of rest, I started to walk again, slowly. I had no choice. The rain kept me from doing more, even if I was in great shape again! The Universe supported me all the way! I would have walked too much and emptied my batteries again! The only day of sunshine that we had in San Antonio brought us to visit the city. The most popular attraction is obviously Fort Alamo, the famous mission where the battle for Texas freedom occurred in 1836. David Crocket was the most popular victim of the 189 men that died there. Another extraordinary tourist attraction is what they call the « river walk » - architectural splendor right in the middle of the city. We walked along the river among all kinds of flowers and trees, just as if we were out in the country. We also visited the Villita, an old part of San Antonio which is a few hundred years old. It is now used for boutiques and art shops for tourists. It was like walking in very old city. Quite interesting!

24th WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 129 miles from San Antonio to Del Rio
Total: 2,660 miles
Everything is fine! I’m back on cruise control! Cooler temperature but I managed to get sunburn on my nose. I remember in 1999 when I was walking on the Trans-Canada Hwy, my feet were hurting from blisters! This year I have very few blisters and very small ones, thanks to Veronique, who gives me reflexology massages with essentials oils! We had two interviews this week, but it is difficult to have a copy of the article, because when the paper comes out we are usually already far from there. I ask the reporters to send it to me by email, but this also is difficult to get. They probably just forget! In such cases, we are not sure of the quality of the article! This is the reason that we don’t have that many so far on the web site! We have to deal with this, but the most important thing of all, is that I get to the finish line!! !

25th WEEK TRANSAMERICAN WALK: 170 miles From Del Rio to Alpine
Total: 2830 miles
My friends, this week I was literally « flying » ! I managed to walk 170 miles, my biggest week since we left! I must say that we were completely cut off from the rest of the world, in the desert, with no phone connection. Our only company was cattle, sheep, deer and horses. Some times an eagle would dare to fly above me. I am glad to be back in a more civilized environment. The road I’m walking is right next to the Rio Grande river which separates Mexico and USA. Border Rangers are constantly on the road looking for Mexicans, who cross the border illegally. They make arrest every day and send them back home right away.
Very important news, I believe that we have reached the half way mark of this trip. I am very happy, even if the Americans don’t seem too receptive about the message I’m trying to transmit. Anyway, if I can help only a few of them, it will have been worth the effort, and I will have kept my promise to GOD!
Thank you, LOVE and GRATITUDE

32-33 and 34th weeks: 432 miles from Tucson Arizona to Ramona California, near San Diego.
Grand total of 3,840 miles.
Even though I walked quite a bit in Tucson, I feel that I am still missing some of its secrets. That city is widely spread apart with a lot of open land. It sure was nice to remain on the spot for the last month. We stayed in a beautiful camp ground named Whispering Palms. All kind of activities were organized every day, including some meals were everybody were invited but had to bring a plate of food to share with the others. Very nice way to meet everyone. There were people coming from all around the country and even a few from Canada like us! Veronique was the only one from Belgium. Every week we had a pancake breakfast that I would not miss for anything in the world, the blueberry pancakes were extraordinary! When we were ready to leave, a problem with the generator kept us there for another 3 days. Finally, we were lovingly released to move on and head for California via Yuma, just at the Arizona-California border. Worth mentioning is that Yuma claims to be the sunniest city in the USA. Lucky people who chose to live there, and I got to enjoy it as well. I love walking in the sun, but at the same time, just like Texas, I had to walk many days against heavy facing wind. Some time I even had difficulties to breathe. Continuously changing decor, walking often with a wide road side and other times with no sides at all, California has everything from desert with naked mountains to green valleys surrounded with abundant tree colored mountains. Mountains, although not very high (on the way we got as high as 4,000 feet), were numerous and difficult to walk. We just arrived in Ramona, about 40 miles from the Pacific Coast. We should be at the ocean in 2 days. This will complete the second part of this trip, to walk from one ocean to the other in the United States. Welcome to the Golden State ! ! !

36th WEEK: 117 miles from Ramona to Moorpark
Total: 3,957 miles
This was not really a performance week. Two days of heavy rain forced me to halt ….and rest! I can feel that I have less energy, just like my motor home batteries hooked up to a solar panel on the roof ! No sun, no power! This week two problems occurred. The first one was my batteries died and I had to change them. Then, the motor on the windshield wipers also died and I had to replace it! What a week!
We are not supported by the Medias; unfortunately. It seems that the Americans are not interested in my story and this free wonderful self healing technique. The only thing we can see or read on the news is: war in Iraq; murders; rapes and big accidents, the bigger the better! A lot of rain apparently still to come. I really miss the Arizona sun! But life goes on and thanks to your support through your emails, my wings spread wide open again and every day I feel very happy to continue to live my dream!

Thursday, March 17th 2005

36, 37, 38, 39th weeks: 512 miles from Moorpark to Sonoma
Total: 4465 miles
What we can say about California at this time of the year, is that it’s the RAINY season! The good part about it, is that, it slows us down quite a bit and gives me the chance to be invited by radio stations, give a few conferences and make front page on the Sonoma local paper! Sonoma seems to be a very friendly little town. We are most welcome here and many of the people that we meet seem to be interested in participating in a stretching class. We will stay here a little longer to accommodate their requests, so next week I will give two classes of Stretching.
We have visited San Francisco for one day, walking in the Chinatown quarters and also what they call Little Italy. We had a chance to look at the famous prison Alcatraz and had to drive across the not less famous Golden Bridge! I will come back to walk across that bridge next time!
For the last 10 days the sky cleared up and now we have at last a lot of sunshine that is giving me back all my energy, so much needed to finish this walk. We are presently right in the middle of Napa County, the winery concentration of California. It’s simply magnificent! The many emails that I receive everyday from my friends contribute to keep me very happy every day. Thank you so much everyone!

40, 41, 42, 43, 44th weeks: 450 miles, from Sonoma to Eureka.
Total: 4,912 miles
Total success for my stretching classes in Sonoma. We had many wonderful encounters with the local people and we could have stayed there indefinitely! Véronique made many friends and started to play « pétanque » that she learnt quite fast and now plays like a pro! Everybody there brought us so much joy, offering us their friendship. As for Robert Adams, chiropractor and neurologist, with his professional knowledge, was able to explain to his patients how wonderful stretching could be for them. He was so convinced that he organized a conference for me and offered his office space to give the stretching classes ……to his patients! A million thanks also to Nella Papadin who sponsored me for my first two conferences and started all this! Although often asked to participate to all kinds of activities, like an exposition, a movie, a meditation session or even a lunch, I kept on walking everyday. Sometimes I was accompanied by other walkers. I accumulated an important number of miles that might be quite helpful when I have to walk the rainy state of Oregon! In northern California, walking in the forest of giant sequoias, some of them measuring over 21 feet in diameter, along the Eel River, gave me a feeling of great inner peace. I was in total harmony with this extraordinary aspect of Nature. Well friends, I have only another 800 miles to complete this walk and close the loop. I am 6 weeks from becoming the first one to complete a walk around North America!!! WOW !

Tuesday, May 10th 2005

45, 46, 47th weeks: 360 miles, from Eureka California to Portland Oregon
Total: 5,632 miles.
The West coast is absolutely beautiful, although temperature in this season is not as sunny as I thought it would be. We are now in Oregon and getting closer and closer to the finish line…..Vancouver, British Columbia! I have of course a wonderful feeling about that, not only because I will then have succeeded in realizing my dream, but also because I will be able to relax and rest for the next few months spending the time with friends and family, in Quebec. The adrenaline that kept me going for quite a while now is slowly disappearing and I am now getting energy from my reserves. I get more tired sooner than before, and I can feel that this is enough and it is kind of stressful sometimes.
Sharon, one of J.J. Crow‘s friend from Sonoma, planned a lecture for me on my arrival in Portland. That led me to give another one the following day, to health specialists. Portland has been very good to us and for sure I will be back someday.

48, 49 and 50th weeks: From Portland Oregon to Vancouver British Columbia
Grand total: 5,625 miles
Wonderful reception in Portland where I was asked to come back for stretching classes. We finally arrived in the state of Washington, state no 18 and last on the list. King 5, a Seattle TV station invited me on their news program. The Skagitt Valley Herald in Mount Vernon, wrote an article on me in their morning paper as well! In Bellingham, we were expected by (Rosemary of Sonoma)’s family and we spent a few rainy days there, resting. I can finally use the term END to talk about this trip, I am now in Vancouver, and the weather in beautiful. Summertime seems to have finally arrived for good. I am very proud of my successful journey, but also very relieved. Vacation time now, and no more pressure. I still walk quite a bit in Vancouver just for the fun of it! Many projects are in my mind, among them, to meet my friends in Belgium next September, where I shall give lectures and stretching classes for 4 months.
I would like to thank everybody from the bottom of my heart, for your support. Your phone calls or emails have been for me the energy fuel I needed everyday to keep on going! You were my VITAMINS and they were extremely efficient.
I will end this letter by expressing my gratitude to Veronique who has been for this last year…….a) my guardian angel; her quiet and friendly presence was of great value to me, b) my chauffeur; the motor home is still in one piece ! c) my chef, she’s a real champion of creative meals, d) my public relation person; all along the way she contacted the press to inform them of this trip, and e) to be honest, the inspired writer of these weekly news that you have read, with pleasure I hope, during this entire trip!

Véro: Thank you Jacques to have given me this opportunity to discover America in such an original way! The privilege to have shared this experience with you filled me with joy and pride. Thank you for being my friend!
